Match Thread Bradford City v Everton U21 EFL (Vertu) Trophy Tuesday 14 October 2025 7.30pm

Textbook Lapslie finish. It's what he does.

 

Amazed that their no 39 Aznou cost them €9m this summer!!

 

As good as the goals have been it was also good to see Metcalfe get back there and win the ball.

 

What record scores do we remember? I seem to remember a 7-2 against Darlo in the league cup

 

Love these close games

 

7-2 Tow Law Town , FA Cup Mid 80s

 

That 4th goal was a wow .

What I take away from that half ….Metcalf is head and shoulders above anything Everton has on display bar McNeil . Why did they sell him?

Men agains boys tbh . Hump gets his goals but he’s still slow off the mark and anticipation.

Credit to those coming back from injury btw.

 

He’s garbage on that show!

 

We beat Bournemouth 8 - 0 once.

Or maybe they managed one, it was a long time ago.

 

He ran about forty yards from the start of move to finish that.

 

I remember the Bournemouth game, 8-1 it was. If I remember rightly it was 6-0 at half time.

 

I wasn't really with you until the throwing bib down in anger bit. Could be true now.

 

Ah yes Goodman hat trick that day? IIRC?

 

Coaches use it as motivation "Look where you could end up if you don't work harder"

 

Bendy leg.

Pattison knew straight away.

 

Bobby Ham first half hat trick. Bournemouth had a sixteen year old keeper making his debut
Subbed for an outfield player at halftime.

 

Oh no. Speedy recovery lad.

 

Could be a career ender there. No malice from Halliday but that looked nasty. The reaction of Pattison tells you how bad it is!

 

He's a winger too. Always tricky to recover speed in that position
